The Screens of Virtual Production by Sian Mitchell
This book is the first dedicated edited collection that explores the virtualization of screen-making processes from pre-production to post-production, while attuning to the aesthetic, ideological and performative contexts upended by these integrated technologies.“The Screens of Virtual Production is the most comprehensive and authoritative work I’ve read on precisely what happened with the advent of digital virtual technologies of production and consumptionWhile the collection is an astute and imaginative engagement with film history, theory, and philosophy, what also sets the volume apart is its engagement with the nuances of how virtual images and screens work in their myriad forms. The book demonstrates that virtuality was and is not only a technology, but a way of making meaning and power. This is a major work in the field.”
-Associate Professor Bruce Isaacs, Chair of Film Studies, School of Arts, Communication, and English (SACE), Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, The University of Sydney
“The Screens of Virtual Production is a thought-provoking exploration of how virtual production is revolutionizing the art of filmmaking. This collection offers bold, incisive insights into the intersections of technology, performance, representation, and labor. It’s more than just timely—it’s a vital, overdue contribution that redefines how we understand the future of screen media. A must-read for scholars, creators, and anyone eager to grasp the profound ways virtual production is reshaping reality itself.”
-Professor Angela Ndalianis, Professor Emeritus, Centre for Transformative Media Technologies, Swinburne University of Technology
“A brilliant, sweeping introduction to the illusions, ideologies, and innovations of virtual production. Mitchell, Perry, Redmond, and Torre conjure cinema’s technological genealogy – and future – with rigor and wonder. Rich in theory and history, the book challenges our assumptions about realism, spectacle, and power—an essential, dazzling resource for international screen scholars, students, and professionals alike.”
-Daniel Bernardi, Professor of Cinema, San Francisco State University, USA
